Subject: How to select 72MHz on ET4000 board?

The ET4000 board in our 486DX33 box does provide a 72MHz clock in
order to achieve a 70 Hz refresh rate for 1024x768 mode. The manual
explains how to select this frequency with VMODE.EXE an MSDOS utility
(mode 0x38).
If I startup `startx' and write its output into a file I don't see this
72MHz clock. Does this mean I can't select this clock with XFree1.2?
I also get a strange error and some
Cannot execute KBDFORCEASCII ioctl: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Hoping on some help!
